Recombination of homologous chromosomes, independent assortment of chromosomes, and random joining of male and female gametes creates what in meiosis

in meiosis

Genetic variability

Explanation:

These processes exist to increase genetic variability in a population.

Recombination of homologous chromosomes involves the swapping of genetic material between maternal and paternal gametes. This creates new combinations of alleles.

Independent assortment of chromosomes means than any combination of chromosomes can come together. I. e., in the production of haploid cells, either the maternal or paternal-derived chromosome can be in any given gamete, also creating new combinations of alleles.

The random joining of male and female gametes refers to the randomness of sexual reproduction, which means that individuals create offspring randomly, also containing new combinations of alleles.
